First of all, I want to thank you for your thoughtfulness in this assignment.

It means so much to
know someone is actively praying and thinking of me, especially in an academic setting. Thank
you!

Right now, I am doing much better than earlier this semester. I have had some time to talk and
be with my family, and we are all processing grief together. This week actually, I am going to
begin going to therapy. I hope that it gives me the space to think and work through the tough
things going on in my life and in the world, as I tend to hide my feelings and push them down in
order to continue with life. I would appreciate prayer in that, as I would love for it to be a fruitful
time for me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I am looking forward to the rest of this semester, and am hoping I can end my time at Biola well.
I am so grateful for this class, as the content has both deepened my understanding of the Bible
and the heart of God. I have enjoyed the videos and the discussions very much.

Thank you for everything you are doing to support us throughout this semester! :)
